Apparatus and method for providing notification of allocation of communication resources by using a temporary flow set indicator
First Claim
1. Apparatus for providing notification of an assignable communication resource allocation for communication of data in a multi-carrier communication system, said apparatus comprising:
- a bit map constructor adapted to receive a representation of the assignable communication resource allocation made for the communication of data during a communication session in the communication system, said bit map constructor configured to construct the at least one assignment bit map during said communication session; and
a temporary flow set identifier generator adapted to receive the at least one constructed assignment bit map, said temporary flow set identifier generator configured to generate a first corresponding temporary flow set identifier, the first temporary flow set identifier including the at least one assignment bit map, the temporary flow set identifier for communication during the communication session to provide the notification of the assignable communication resource allocation re-allocation during said communication session, for the communication of the data.

Abstract
Apparatus and an associated method for notifying communication stations of communication allocations made to communicate data. A matrix representation is formed of communication resources that are allocated for communication of the data. The matrix representation is used to construct an assignment bit map by a bit map constructor that is representative of the allocated communication resources. And, a temporary flow set identifier generator is used to form a temporary flow set identifier. The temporary flow set identifier includes the assignment bit map as a portion thereof.

12. Apparatus for receiving notification of an assignable communication resource allocation in a communication station operable pursuant to communication of data in a multi-carrier communication system, said apparatus comprising:
-
a detector configured to detect a temporary flow set identifier delivered to the communication station during a communication session with the communication station, the temporary flow set identifier including at least one assignment bit map, the at least one assignment bit map representative of a first assignable communication resource allocation re-allocation during-the communication session; and a controller adapted to receive an indication of detection made by said detector, said controller configured to control operation of the communication station responsive to detections made by said detector. - View Dependent Claims (13)

14. A method for providing notification of an assignable communication resource allocation for communication of data in a multi-carrier communication system, said method comprising the operations of:
-
constructing at least one assignment bit map during a communication session, responsive to the at least one assignable communication resource allocation; generating during the communication session, at least one temporary flow set identifier including the at least one assignment bit map, the first at least one temporary flow set identifier for communication during the communication session to provide notification of the assignable communication resource allocation re-allocation during the communication session, for the communication of the data pursuant to the at least one temporary flow set. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
